​The episodes are coming fast and furious now that I feel closer to 100% recovered. Not much in the way of Holiday tunes this time, but the fact that we dug out the original recordings of “Christmas On The Ponderosa” for some cheer makes that fine. Listen for new stuff from Joe Jackson, Mike Viola, Broken Bells, John Medeski’s new solo album, Mark Lanegan covering Lou Reed and more from the new offerings of Matthew Sweet, Chick Corea with Christian McBride and Brian Blade and Bill Lloyd. New archival arrivals include the legendary Springsteen at The Roxy recordings and a pair of Beach Boys copyright extension releases from 1968. This episode also contains 2 more songs that should be on anything called Yacht Rock but aren’t, old friends Peter Himmelman, Peter Holsapple, Chris Stamey, Nils Lofgren, Jimmer Podrasky, Syd Straw and a whole bunch more.
